• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

4. In another pan, sauté chopped leeks and minced garlic until softened. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese, mixing until fully combined.
5. Stir breadcrumbs into the cheesy leek mixture to create a thick stuffing.
6. Place the sautéed vegetables on top of the cauliflower steaks and then spoon the cheesy leek sauce over the vegetables, pressing down gently to ensure the sauce stays within the steak.
